Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
In Synaptic I can see strange text such as: "Canonical provides critical updates for git-doc until juli 2011." NB: "juli", not "July" as could be expected. This is a mix of a string in English with the name of the month "July" written in my native language Swedish.
I think the reason is that synaptic looks up the name of the month using a different locale than the locale of the text. In the case of running text, where the name of the month is embedded with other text, I think it is wrong to do so.
These are my locale settings:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=
LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_COLLATE=
LC_MONETARY=
LC_MESSAGES=
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NAME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_ADDRESS=
LC_TELEPHONE=
LC_MEASUREMENT=
LC_IDENTIFICATI
LC_ALL=

Thanks for your report.
You are right. It is because you have LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8, it displays the date in this locale. So, it's working as expected even if it looks a bit weird.
I'm closing this report because it is not a bug in synaptic.
Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
